Memories & Candles

Dear Hugh, Tamara, Allen, Toni, Margo, Chris and families. I was so sorry to learn of your loss. May God grant each of you peace, comfort and strength for the days ahead and may you find joy in your memories following the sorrow.

Ike was a dear friend and client for many of my starting years in Russellville. It was always a challange to bring his tax return to him in that he only wanted to give unto Caesar what was Caesar's and no more. Ike will be missed by all.

I was a graduating senior at Arkansas Tech in May 1970 and was also the Brigade Commander for the Army ROTC. As a Distinguished Military Graduate in ROTC, I was to go on active duty immediately upon my graduation. The Army Dress Blues was a required uniform for new officers and I did not have any. Ike Allen Laws, Jr. gave me a set of Dress Blues that he had and that would have cost me a substantial amount of money at that time. It was an act of kindness that I still remember even though I later purchased another set of Dress Blues which lasted me till I retired as a Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. I thank God for having known him and pray that God will comfort all the family during their time of sorrow. Sincerely,Larry Brandt
